Product Description

The second volume of the astonishing Earth’s Children® series—over 34 million copies sold worldwide

In The Valley of Horses, Ayla, the unforgettable heroine of The Clan of the Cave Bear, sets out on her own odyssey of discovery away from the nurturing adoptive family and friends of the Clan. She is in search of others like herself and in search of love. Driven by her intelligence, her curiosity, and her destiny, she explores where the Clan never dared to travel and encounters a hostile world of awesome mystery, glacial cold, terrifying beasts, and intense loneliness in which survival itself is a constant battle.

Sharing a hidden valley with a herd of steppe horses, Ayla finds a unique friendship with animals as vulnerable as herself and ingeniously discovers the complex skills needed to survive—skills no Clan member was ever able to master. But none of her experiences prepares her for the emotional turmoil she feels when she rescues a young man—the first of the Others she has seen—from almost certain death. Torn between her desire for human companionship and her fear of the unknown Others, she struggles against her deep attraction to the handsome Jondalar. It is Jondalar who teaches her the meaning of true friendship and love.

Once again, Jean M. Auel uses her powerful storytelling talents and her thorough understanding of human nature to take us on an amazing journey into the primordial past, re-creating the prehistoric world as it truly might have been in this compelling and timeless new epic of the dawn of civilization. This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Leonarda da Stoneage meets He-Man, Juil 8 2004
This review is from: The Valley of Horses (Paperback)
After reading Clan of the Cave Bear, of course I had to read The Valley of Horses to find out what happened to Ayla.

Although I felt sometimes reminded of "The Island of The Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell, I found the author's descriptions of Ayla's life in the valley interesting and this is the only reason why I give this book four stars.

The story of Jondalar and his brother was often boring and towards the end of the book, I skip-read most of it. I find Mighty Hung Jon one of the most irritating characters I've ever encountered in a book. It would have done the story a lot of good if he hadn't been created as such a (physically) perfect specimAn.

The book as a whole would have profited from more thorough editing, especially the deletion of unnecessary and boring descriptions (e.g. of boat building). 100 pages less would have made a big difference!

All in all, I found it a nice, easy read for a lazy Saturday. The story is mostly predictable. No challenge whatsoever, except (sometimes) of my patience.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Absolutely Fascinating!, Jui 23 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: The Valley of Horses (Hardcover)
I just had to say something about Jean Auels books, after reading the many reviews I've found. I'm just now getting into reading historical fiction. Clan of the Cave Bears really kept my attention, as the author did such a wonderful job of describing Ayla's life as she was raised by the Neanderthal Clan. The final actions taken by the Clan to put the death curse upon her were a litle surprising, but of course without Ayla leaving the clan, there would likely only be one book instead of the 5 in the series. The Valley of the Horses gave an awesome account of the adolescent girl teaching herself about survival skills, which she honed in order to stay in the Valley for 3 years alone. Jondular entering the picture was her first opportunity to see the "Others" that were more like her than the clan was. I did not object at all to the sex scenes. After all, sex is a part of almost everyone's daily life, and like it or not, it's how we all got here! To make it sacred and beautiful made it all the more special And it also lent a sharp contrast to the way the Clan treated sexual activity.
The novel certainly held my interest from beginning to end. Auel's descriptions sometimes do get a little lengthy, but she weaves them into the plot with a great deal of skill and knowledge,making the reader feel like she is part of it all. Spellbinding! Couldn't put it down!

3.0étoiles sur 5 Adventure and Romance, Jui 9 2004
Par C. Cotrone "chickygrrl" (Providence, RI United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: The Valley of Horses (Mass Market Paperback)
First, I think that Auel is a fantastic writer. The amount of research that she does for her books, and the rumored number of rewrites that she's done as new information surfaces makes the books in this series very good - you know that when she describes how they hunt that that was how it was done. The characters are great; well developed and likeable people. and the storyline is original (or it was at the time it was written, these days everyone is churning out historial fiction).

With that said, let me say that the book reads like Tami Hoag's first thriller "Lucky's Lady", in that it features a lot of sex for no reason at all. It's obvious that much of the sex in the storyline is gratuitous, almost all of it unnecassry to further along the plotline.
